Definitions

  • the present invention concerns an interchangeable capsule for the preparation of an infusion of a powdered product, e.g. coffee or the like.
  • the present invention further concerns a method for obtaining an infusion of said powdered product.
  • the present invention concerns the preparation of the so called “American coffee”.
  • the present invention finds an advantageous but not exclusive application to interchangeable capsules for the preparation of an infusion of “American coffee” (to which the following description will explicitly refer, without ever losing its general character), the teaching of the present invention can be applied to any kind of interchangeable capsule, e.g. to interchangeable capsules for espresso, tea, chamomile tea, etc.
  • the so called “American coffee” is an infusion made by means of a particular machine wherein the hot water passes through a filter containing ground unpressed coffee and settles by gravity in an underlying pot.
  • the coffee used for the preparation of such a drink is different from the one used by mocha machines or machines for Italian espresso because it is more roughly ground and it is not subjected to any pre-compression when it is in the capsule.
  • these machines have a water tank, a pump sending heated water inside a small container provided with a paper filter containing coffee.
  • the hot water submerges the coffee and, passing through the paper filter, falls by gravity into the dedicated underlying pot which is suited to keep the drink hot for a long time because it is heated by a special electrical resistance.
  • capsules having an outer casing containing a paper filter partially filled with unpressed coffee have recently appeared on the market.
  • the plastic lid and the plastic bottom are pierced in order to create a hot water flow infusing the coffee powder.
  • the capsules which are presently commercially available are not completely reliable. In fact, since they usually have only one filter in the bottom, the incoming hot water is induced to flow along substantially vertical preferential fluid threads which, therefore, do not involve the whole mass of powdered product contained in the capsule.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide an interchangeable capsule for infusions wherein the path of the infusing water inside said capsule is as long and as winding as possible in order to delay the infusion times and in order to involve the largest possible amount of product.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide an innovative method for obtaining such an infusion.
  • an interchangeable capsule is produced according to the content of claim 1 or of any of the claims directly or indirectly dependent on claim 1 .
  • FIG. 1 shows a 3D view of an interchangeable capsule for a powdered product according to the present invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a first longitudinal section of the capsule of FIG. 1 ;
  • FIG. 3 shows a 3D view from above of a container for the powdered product belonging to the capsule according to FIGS. 1 and 2 ;
  • FIG. 4 shows a 3D view from below of the container of FIG. 3 ;
  • FIG. 5 shows a side view of the container shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 ;
  • FIG. 6 shows a back view of the container shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 5 ;
  • FIG. 7 shows a front view of the container shown in FIGS. 3, 4, 5, 6 ;
  • FIG. 8 shows a 3D view from below of a lid belonging to the capsule according to FIGS. 1 and 2 ; this lid, in use, is coupled to the container in order to form the capsule shown in FIGS. 1, 2 ;
  • FIG. 9 shows a side view of the lid of FIG. 8 .
  • FIG. 10 shows a plan view of the lid of FIG. 8 .
  • the interchangeable capsule 100 is suited to contain inside it a certain amount of a powdered product (e.g. coffee) for preparing an infusion, in particular, an “American coffee” according to the above definition.
  • a powdered product e.g. coffee
  • the interchangeable capsule 100 comprises a container 101 closed by a lid 102 by means of known methods.
  • the container 101 comprises, in turn, a bottom 101 A advantageously but not necessarily produced in one piece with the side wall 101 B.
  • an axis (X) passes through the bottom 101 A, said axis substantially lying on a plane ( ⁇ ), which defines a substantially horizontal direction.
  • any “substantially horizontal” element, body or device is an element, body or device substantially lying on the plane ( ⁇ ).
  • elements bodies or devices substantially lying on any plane parallel to plane ( ⁇ ) must be considered “substantially horizontal”.
  • the side wall 101 B shows a central vertical axis of symmetry (Y) which is perpendicular to the aforesaid axis (X).
  • any “substantially horizontal” element, body or device is an element, body or device substantially extending according to the direction defined by axis (Y).
  • the side wall 101 B has the usual substantially truncated-cone shape, flared upwards.
  • An annulus-shaped support edge 104 protrudes from the upper end 103 of the container 101 so that the whole interchangeable capsule 100 can be received in a special housing created in a percolator machine (not shown).
  • the bottom 101 A, the side wall 101 B and the support edge 104 are made in one piece of a suitable plastic material for foods of a known type.
  • the outer surface of the side wall 101 B could also be provided with some ribs 105 ( FIG. 1 ) to strengthen the structure of said side wall 101 B.
  • a feeding well 110 protrudes from the lid 102 towards the inside of the container 101 .
  • the bottom 111 of the feeding well 110 is provided with three spokes 112 whereon, in use, a filter 113 ( FIG. 2 ) is fastened, said filter allowing the passage of hot water from the feeding well 110 to the inside of the container 101 , but not the other way.
  • the filter 113 acts as separating element between the hot water coming from the feeding well 110 and the infusion inside the container 101 .
  • a possible accidental reflux of the infusion towards the feeding well 110 is prevented by the fact that the hot water pressure inside the feeding well 110 is obviously always higher than the infusion pressure in the container 101 , a depression being present outgoing from the capsule 100 .
  • a small tank 120 (also having an axis (Y)) supported by the bottom 101 A of the container 101 by means of a cup-shaped support device 130 coaxial to the small tank 120 .
  • the support device 130 having a transverse size larger than that of the small tank 120 , is arranged outside said small tank 120 .
  • the small tank 120 has a circular-shaped bottom which is transverse to the incoming water jet whose direction and orientation are defined by an arrow (F 1 ).
  • the bottom 121 represents a deflecting device (transverse to axis (X)), substantially horizontal, of the infusion jet, substantially vertical, whose direction and orientation are defined by the arrow (F 1 ).
  • the small tank 120 comprises a truncated-cone-shaped side wall 122 .
  • the infusion liquid jet (therefore already comprising a certain amount of the product infused in hot water) is horizontally and radially deflected according to directions and orientations defined by the arrows (F 2 ).
  • the small tank 120 is raised with respect to the plane ( ⁇ ) in order to form an underlying chamber 140 , which will be useful for reasons better explained hereinafter.
  • the chamber 140 is defined from above by the bottom 121 and laterally by a lower truncated-cone shaped portion 131 of the support device 130 .
  • a toroidal space 150 is defined between the inner wall of an upper portion 132 of the support device 130 and the outer wall of the small tank 120 , said space being in hydraulic communication with the chamber 140 by means of an annulus-shaped passage 151 .
  • the upper portion 132 , substantially cylindrical, of the support device 130 is provided with a plurality of indentations 133 .
  • each through opening 134 advantageously shaped like an indentation, has been calculated in order to prevent, as far as possible, the passage of granules of ground product dragged by the hot infusion.
  • first vertical filtering means FT 1
  • FT 1 first vertical filtering means
  • the wall 122 of the small tank 120 comprises a full lower portion 123 and an upper portion 124 possibly provided with a plurality of indentations 125 . Between each pair of indentations it is defined a related through opening 126 allowing the passage of the hot water/powdered product infusion.
  • the indentations 125 and the openings 126 form together second vertical filtering means (FT 2 ) suited to filter the infusion of powdered product outgoing from the small tank 120 (see hereinafter).
  • FT 2 second vertical filtering means
  • each through opening 126 advantageously shaped like an indentation, has been calculated in order to prevent, as far as possible, the passage of granules of ground product dragged by the hot infusion.
  • the present invention comprises all possible combinations between first vertical filtering means (FT 1 ) and second vertical filtering means (FT 2 ). At least one of two vertical filtering means (FT 1 ), (FT 2 ) is present. Therefore, only first vertical filtering means (FT 1 ), or only second vertical filtering means (FT 2 ), or both vertical filtering means (FT 1 ), (FT 2 ) can be present.
  • the annulus-shaped passage 151 is provided with a further filter 152 (made of paper, felt, etc.) in order to filter further the percolating liquid before it enters the chamber 140 .
  • a further filter 152 made of paper, felt, etc.
  • the mass of powdered product (MC) is present both in the space defined between the inner wall of the container 101 and the outer wall of the support device 130 and inside the small tank 120 .
  • the chamber 130 is at least partially filled by a waffle containing at least one more essence, such as cardamom, cinnamon or ginseng.
  • the present capsule 100 works as follows:
  • the pressurized hot water enters the container 101 from the feeding well 110 , after having passed through filter 113 , according to the direction and orientation indicated by the arrow (F 1 );
  • the hot water meets the powdered product (MC) arranged between the feeding well 110 and the small tank 120 ; the product/hot water infusion liquid starts to be formed;
  • this infusion liquid hits the bottom 121 of the small tank 120 and is horizontally and radially deflected according to the directions and orientations of the arrows (F 2 );
  • a first portion of the infusion liquid passes immediately through the openings 126 of second vertical filtering means (FT 2 ) for flowing towards the toroidal space 150 (arrows (F 3 )); from this toroidal space 150 the infusion flows towards the chamber 140 after having possibly been filtrated by the filter 152 ; passing through the waffle, in case present in the chamber 140 , the infusion takes the taste of the substance contained by the waffle;
  • a second portion of the infusion liquid is deflected according to directions and orientations given by the arrows (F 4 ) in order to involve also the mass of powdered product (MC) arranged in the space defined between the container 101 and the support device 130 ;
  • the pressurized hot water enters the container, not through the well 110 but through a hole pierced in the lid 102 by known means.
  • the present invention also refers to a method for obtaining an infusion, in particular an American coffee; the method is characterized by the following steps:
  • the method can further comprise a further filtering step of the outgoing infusion.
  • the method can comprise a further step wherein the infusion passes through means containing at least an essence, such as cardamom, cinnamon or ginseng.
